help with removing barrels

[Dean Romig]

If it has the keyed forend you need to start the key sliding by pushing on the narrower end with a pointed plastic tool like the pointed end of a hair comb. Once you start it you will be able to grasp the wider end between your fingers and pull it all the way until it stops. Now the forend will just about fall off. Now grasp the barrels firmly at the same time you depress the underlifter and the barrels will easily seperate from the action.

If your underlifter has a Deely & Edge latch simply put your finger in the hole and pull the lever down (away from the barrels) and the forend will come right off.

Hope this helps.
